Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. ““Section 2156 of the Code of 1896 [now section 4293 of the Code of 1907] pronounces void all contracts made to hinder or defraud creditors, and section 4756 [no-^- section 6955 of the Code of 1907] makes such conveyances a criminal offense. Of course, such contracts are valid inter partes, as the parties cannot resort to law to release themselves from the result of their own misconduct.””

  2. ““ * * * ‘The principle or policy of the law, therefore is to reject the suit of and reprove the plaintiff [here the respondent-cross complainant] for his wrong, not to reward the defendant. The plaintiff must be punished, even though it may be at the expense of allowing the defendant, an equally guilty party, to obtain most unjust and unfair advantage for himself. * * * ’ ””
